UNFULFILLED DREAMS: The Story of a Father and a Sonby Francis W. Biehl as told to Ed RobertsonWhat would you do if one of your children had less than a year to live? That was the challenge that faced Frank Biehl when his eldest son, Tom, was diagnosed with inoperable cancer. Just 25 years old, Tom was a bright young man with a promising future that was about to be cut short. Like many parents, Frank’s relationship with Tom had challenges of its own, moments of misunderstanding. Can he somehow bridge the gaps of the past before it’s too late?

They say life never gives us more than we can handle… that whatever doesn’t break us, only makes us stronger. We’ve heard it said a thousand times, and yet it’s really true. Just ask Brooks and Jean Davis. They spent 12 years helping their youngest son, Ron, overcome addiction. They’d just overcome this tragedy when suddenly they were dealt another. How many times can one’s spirit be tested before it is finally broken?
